[78-L] Help me understand the logic...

[Benno Häupl]

Of course, eBay could have limited the amount of feedback to be left, like you suggested, Malcolm. 
But you never know if 10 consecutive purchases from one seller are legitimate or only intended for 
feedback bombing. If the latter, then the buyer would not pay anyway. 

In this case, the seller's only recourse is to quickly file for 'unpaid item', because only then will the 
buyer be blocked from leaving feedback.  

It's really hard to keep up with all the eBay changes back and forth and the ways to handle all 
possible issues. This is why I read the eBay Discussion Boards a lot (specifically the threads in following 
chat rooms: PayPal, Seller Central, Trust & Safety, International Trading, Packaging & Shipping) 

And don't ask for eBay to be logical!
